They all have blue rims so they should be more identifiable. We will get

them all labeled.

I think this is a great idea!!! No were else that I know of in the country

has such a program. I will gladly put a dollar in even if Campy is not

supported. At least there will be a front wheel I could use.

I have one suggestion though. Please make these wheels uglier then hell so

no one walks away with them. That always seem to be a problem at race.

Shimano and Mavic are always hunting down riders after races to get their

wheels back.

This is a great idea! $1 is well worth it. Would it be possible to put a

10

speed cassette on a couple of these neutral wheels?

Subject: [OBRA Chat] OBRA starts New Wheel Program

Every year we ask members to come up with ideas on how we can make racing

in

Oregon better. In 2002 we came up with the idea of doing away with the

free

newspaper and instead have been combining race flyers and mailing them

direct to members. I just got mine Monday and how nice it is to have 8

races on 1 piece of paper - thanks to Ed Garfield for coming up with this

one.

Last year an idea was proposed by Brad Ross. Why doesn't OBRA buy wheels

and

they can be used at road events as neutral wheels instead of soliciting

riders to donate to the cause. So we bought 15 sets of Mavic wheels. Yes

30 wheels total. Roger Banvard of Newport volunteered to true them, check

for defects and keep them in good condition.They are available to all road

races. The problem is that we have not come up with a clear cut way to

reimburse OBRA for the expense - a way for the program to pay for itself.

Earlier this month I propposed to the board that we come up with a fee

structure to pay for them. Like have the race organizer come up with an

extra $100-$200 to cover the costs. Well it is a new program and most of

the race organizers cannot come up with that out of their meager budgets.

So

now I have another proposal.

Why don't we set out a jar for donations. If each rider put in $1 that

would more then cover the program and give Roger gas money back and forth

from Newport. So what do you all think? Is putting $1 in the kitty worth

not donating your wheels each week?
